Alexis Guy – Youth Ambassador: “Well we have created a project.In Washington D.C. we went to a place called Wider Circle they distribute clothing to those in need that may need clothing for job interviews and also good furniture for their homes and stuff like that so our project is basically to alleviate poverty. I know it sounds like something big but you know we can all do something and it starts with something as basic as education. We can offer after school tutoring like within our school community since we are from different districts and we can also get other students to help us to volunteer to help with the tutoring after school as well as we can ask for donations from companies for food, clothing, monetary donations whatever it is to help those in the rural areas that may be in need.”
